Elevators 6 skin rivets....

Ok,

So I am racking my brains and going crazy.

Each elevator has us leave 6 rivets off between the skin and the rear spar. We use that area later to acces 2 rivets near the front spar and the end caps.

9-19 Fig 3.

9-18 fig 2.

When do we close those last 6 rivets up? I'm guessing its right before the tank sealant on the foam ribs, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I'm losing my mind over that.

I left em, and then finished them the moment before the foam ribs and the tank sealant.

I did let me access a few rivets inside the counterweight skins as well.

I guess they just forgot.

I looked everywhere for them and never found them mentioned again in the plans. Looked through the wiki.

Ordered a new thumb drive.


nuthin.

The revised plans dated 6/27/23 now include a reference to these 6 rivets on page 09-23.
